admit believe ben crowd front goal guy line nobody running saw talking
Ben made the play of the game. In fact, it was the play of the season. I have to admit I was talking to the crowd when Jerome fumbled. I couldn't believe it. All I saw was a guy running to the goal line with nobody in front of him.
deep great intense run steve throw
Being that I'm also from Mississippi, I've always been a big Steve McNair fan. He's such a great passer. He can really throw the deep ball. Plus, he can run with the football. He's just one of the most intense competitors you'll ever see.
bad guys maybe plays run
Those are the kind of plays that do that. Those guys get in there and make some things happen. They get the ball, get the sack, they put the quarterback on the run and maybe he makes a bad choice.
ask opportunity
We always want to be on the field. It is another opportunity for us to make a play. We had that opportunity and didn't make it. That's all you can ask for.
appreciate explain far feeling last looking opportunity third
This was my third AFC championship game, and to get that far and not make it twice, it really makes you appreciate the opportunity we have. Not just to get back to the AFC championship game, but to have this opportunity now, looking back at the last two times when we didn't make it, there is nothing like the feeling I have right now. You have to really appreciate it. I can't explain the feeling.
plays
B-Mac made two big plays at the end.

We've been knocking on this door for years. We decided that it was time to quit knocking. We came here and just kicked it in.

Yes, we saw the tape of the Chargers-Colts game. I don't know if we learned anything from the tape that we didn't already know. We know what we have to do.
almost bad luck mess roll sure wear white
Well, with the roll we've been on, it's almost like it would be bad luck to not wear the white jerseys. I'm not sure we want to mess with that.
great honor
What better honor to show a great teammate?
certain confused few looking wondering
We did all right (defensively) in certain situations. And we had Manning confused at times. He was looking around, wondering what was going on. We made them punt a few times. So, that's what we have to do again.
favor knocking ourselves
We thought we did ourselves a favor by knocking O'Donnell out of the game,
along problem time
We always get along fine; that's never been a problem here. We all get along well. ... We just didn't get it done, and this time we got it done.
anytime drop help rush zones
It allows our linebackers to really be a factor. It allows them to rush the quarterback and then drop back into coverage. Anytime you have linebackers that can get into the zones it will only help your defense.
